MIPS: Ingenic: Add XBurst SMP support

This commit adds SMP support for the second XBurst core on the Ingenic
JZ4780 using CP0 mailboxes for IPIs and flushes the data cache before
entering WAIT on SMP JZ4780 kernels.

[Severity: High]
Does booting a generic MIPS kernel (CONFIG_MIPS_GENERIC_KERNEL=y) with
CONFIG_BOARD_INGENIC=y and CONFIG_SMP=y on JZ4780 hit BUG_ON() in
mips_smp_ipi_allocate()?

CONFIG_MIPS_GENERIC_KERNEL selects CONFIG_MIPS_GIC and
CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_MULTITHREADING, which enable CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_IPI=y
under CONFIG_SMP=y.  Because xburst_smp_ops uses direct CP0 mailbox
interrupts instead of registering a DOMAIN_BUS_IPI irq_domain, the
early_initcall mips_smp_ipi_init() -> mips_smp_ipi_allocate() finds
ipidomain == NULL and panics whenever more than one CPU is present:

arch/mips/kernel/smp.c:mips_smp_ipi_allocate() {
    ...
	if (!ipidomain) {
		BUG_ON(num_present_cpus() > 1);
		return 0;
	}
    ...
}

[Severity: Low]
Does this break 64-bit generic MIPS builds (CONFIG_MIPS_GENERIC_KERNEL=y,
CONFIG_64BIT=y) when CONFIG_BOARD_INGENIC=y and CONFIG_SMP=y are enabled?

CONFIG_BOARD_INGENIC has no dependency on CONFIG_32BIT and selects
CONFIG_MACH_JZ4780, so both ingenic-smp-entry.S and ingenic-smp.c are built
on 64-bit generic kernels.  In arch/mips/include/asm/addrspace.h, KSEG0 and
KSEG1ADDR() are only defined when CONFIG_64BIT is disabled (whereas CKSEG0
and CKSEG1ADDR() are always defined), causing xburst_secondary_cpu_entry and
xburst_smp_setup() to fail to build, alongside the 32-bit la and lw
instructions used here on unsigned long globals.

[Severity: High]
Does omitting cpu_set_core() in xburst_smp_setup() and
xburst_init_secondary() suppress cross-CPU cache flush IPIs when
CONFIG_MIPS_CPS=y is enabled?

In arch/mips/kernel/cpu-probe.c, decode_configs() skips calling
cpu_set_core() when CONFIG_MIPS_CPS=y (which is enabled in generic kernels):

arch/mips/kernel/cpu-probe.c:decode_configs() {
    ...
#ifndef CONFIG_MIPS_CPS
	if (cpu_has_mips_r2_r6) {
		unsigned int core;

		core = get_ebase_cpunum();
		if (cpu_has_mipsmt)
			core >>= fls(core_nvpes()) - 1;
		cpu_set_core(c, core);
	}
#endif
}

Because neither xburst_smp_setup() nor xburst_init_secondary() calls
cpu_set_core(&cpu_data[cpu], hwid), both CPUs keep core ID 0, so
cpus_are_siblings(0, 1) returns true and calculate_cpu_foreign_map() leaves
cpu_foreign_map empty.  r4k_on_each_cpu() then skips sending IPIs to flush
the other core's private 32 KiB L1 I-cache and D-cache, leaving stale cache
lines across cores.

[Severity: Medium]
Does calling clk_enable(cpu1_clock) while holding the raw spinlock smp_lock
trigger an invalid wait context splat under CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING?

clk_enable() acquires the non-raw spinlock_t enable_lock in
clk_enable_lock() and then calls jz4780_core1_enable(), which acquires the
non-raw spinlock_t cgu->lock and polls CGU_REG_LCR for up to 5 ms while
smp_lock is held with interrupts disabled.

[Severity: High]
When CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y is enabled (for example via CONFIG_MIPS_CPS=y in
generic_defconfig), does CPU1 fail to come online at boot, and does offlining
a CPU crash in __cpu_disable()?

In arch/mips/kernel/smp.c, smp_prepare_cpus() only initializes
cpu_present_mask from cpu_possible_mask when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled.
Because neither xburst_smp_setup() nor xburst_prepare_cpus() calls
set_cpu_present(cpu, true), CPU1 is never marked present and
bringup_nonboot_cpus() never boots it.  In addition, __cpu_disable() and
__cpu_die() in arch/mips/include/asm/smp.h unconditionally call
mp_ops->cpu_disable() and mp_ops->cpu_die(), which are NULL in
xburst_smp_ops.

[Severity: High]
Does check_wait() select xburst_wait_irqoff() on single-core XBurst SoCs
(such as JZ4740, JZ4725B, JZ4770, X1000, and X1830) whenever a shared
Ingenic kernel is built with CONFIG_SMP=y?

CONFIG_MACH_INGENIC_GENERIC selects CONFIG_MACH_JZ4780 alongside the
single-core XBurst SoCs, and all of them report CPU_XBURST.  Using
compile-time IS_ENABLED() checks instead of a runtime check (such as
num_possible_cpus() > 1) forces every idle entry on UP XBurst machines to
write back and invalidate the entire 32 KiB L1 D-cache via
r4k_blast_dcache() and execute wait with local interrupts disabled, which
can also prevent interrupts from waking MIPS32r1 cores (JZ4740, JZ4725B).

Also, in xburst_wait_irqoff(), pending interrupts are only checked before
r4k_blast_dcache(), leaving a window during the full D-cache flush where a
newly pending interrupt is not re-checked before executing wait, and the
inline assembly uses .set mips3 rather than .set arch=r4000 like the other
wait helpers in this file.
